Despite its apparently monolithic definition, “teratology” (from the Greek word teras,
meaning “monster,” and the Latin logy, which is derived from the Greek logia, meaning
“a speaking, discourse, treatise, doctrine, theory, science”) seems infinitely malleable,
flourishing in various rhetorical environments. Teratologies are more than a bestiary: a
catalogue of “freaks” designed to celebrate the “normal.” Rather, teratologies illustrate
how humor, horror, fantasy and the “real” cross-fertilize each other, resulting in the
possibility of new worlds, ethics, and narratives, emerging. As a general anthology of
teratologies, this book simply maps what, in many ways, has already been occurring
across several fields, as it tracks the expansion of this term, creating lacunae that form
connections across multiple interpretive communities. It is a cross section of how
"monster narratives" intersect with "outsider" positions, from different perspectives such as those of literary critics, film critics, criminologists, law professors, historians,
philosophers - and looks into various strategies of destabilizing normative binaries.
Caroline Picart, Ph.D., former tenured Associate Professor at Florida State University, is a Juris Doctor Candidate
at the University of Florida Levin College of Law and an adjunct professor of Humanities at Santa Fe College.
